I was running this watered down and muddy frame twister & log obstacle course when I first started hearing the intermittent popping and cluncking...



Then toward the end of the day when I was playing on the rocks and ruts I was getting lots of popping and clunking even going straight...



You may have a point and I could be chasing my own tail here but just for my piece of mind I'm still going to open her up and inspect everything and make sure the teeth aren't rounded out. This has happened to me before in another vehicle when I started hearing excessive popping cluncking from the rear locker in that vehicle on the trail, it ended up being 2 broken dowel/shear pins but I didn't know that at first and ran it like that all day on the trail and by the time I got home to inspect it the teeth on the locker had rounded out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> and the locker was useless after that as it never gave consistent locking after replacing the pins. The thing is here with the front locker I wasn't doing anything anywhere near as hard and was very light on the throttle as the jeep just crawled over everything since I was locked front & rear (well sort of <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />). Thanks again for all the help.
